Notes: The second German Smoked malt (10 oz) is actually Oak-smoked Wheat Malt. This brings the total wheat malt to 50% of the grist, and the total smoked malt to 50%, also (33.3% rauch malt and 16.7% smoked wheat malt).

Bring to 10 min boil after mashing, adding whirlfloc at 10 min. Then cool to 95-100°F, pre-acidify to 4.5 pH using Lactic acid, and then Kettle sour with one Goodbelly shot for 24 hours - pH dropped to 3.2. Then bring to a boil to kill off lacto, and add 60 min hops (any noble will work). Chill, then pitch yeast (Kolsch strain or German Ale would work well). Carbonate high.

Won third place in 2018 Cactus Challenge, Historical, Alternative, Speciality Beer category.

Mash at 66 C or 151 F. This is Dr Smurto's favourite version. This beer is one of the most widely home-brewed beers in Australia, extremely popular to a wide range of palates and a robust recipe meaning that it can be varied in many ways with little risk. Source: Mark Smith

Notes: Note to all - this is an attempt at a CASKED type ale. It might work as bottled beer, it might not. It is EXPERIMENTAL.

This is an English Strong Bitter (old style cask ale taste profile) a Golden Strong Bitter with a Cask Malt flavor. Originally made by Sam Smith Brewery, one of my favorite UK Breweries.

Mash in with all grains at 140 initially, raising the temperature while stirring to 151 to hold for 90 minutes. Batch sparge with an additional 12 quarts of water to collect 6 gallons of sweet wort.

Bring the wort to a boil and add the hops. (Yes, this is in the recipe, but I initially tried the calculator at 30 minutes and I had a more sedate 43 IBUs. Thought about splitting it at 45 minutes...but it does have raw brown sugar introduced 7 days before bottling or kegging - this should provide a kind of "casked" taste as the yeast should re-ferment. Yeah - this can be a disaster...wondering if I might make a tiny little batch and see what happens if I secondary it in a minikeg - no gas, pinch of yeast - like you would for a REAL cask. I think I would need a spunding valve to offgas the excess CO2.)

The recipe calls to add the molasses and sugar, dissolved in a little wort, added "during the boil". I wouldn't add it until 15 minutes prior to the end, so it has less of a chance to scorch and burn. At the same time, add the whirlfloc tablet and yeast nutrient.

The modifications so far.
Recipe was for 20 quarts - I needed 5.5 in the fermentor so I can guarantee 5 gallons in the keg. So I raised the fermentables to:

7 lbs of 2 row from 5 lbs
12 ozs of Torrified Barley from 8 oz
10 ozs of light crystal from 6 oz

Used Windsor instead of "Brewer's Yeast" - suited the final gravity

Messed around with the hop schedule - if you put them all in for 90 minutes, you get 60+ IBUs which is way out of character for a strong bitter - 50 IBUs is about tops. So I changed the Fuggles to 2 oz from 2.5 after I made the fuggles go in at 60 minutes and the Goldings at 30. That gets you to 48 IBUs.

Notes: This is a "shell" recipe I use as a reminder/copied template for the typical stepped mash profiles used with the Speidel Braumeister and the effect on final product. Also useful for Grainfathers or any other programmable stepped mash system.

DocD

44 (30-52) 0-20 min.
Beta Gluconase - DO NOT SKIP for wheat beers or if many (20%) adjuncts (oats, rye, raw barley, wheat). Beta glucan can otherwise turn wort to jelly. Also, necessary if classic European malts with only moderate modification. If actually trying to use this step to lower pH >>>30 minutes.
-Deactivated at 50C

52 (50-55) 20 min.
Protease - Breaks up large proteins, decreased haze. Smaller proteins good for head and body. Many modern malts have this step completed during the malting, do not skip with very traditional old style malts. However, can also result in the loss of characteristics from modern malts where a specific protein profile is created by the malter for head retention, mouthfeel, etc ...
Peptidase - Produces free amino nitrogen, FAN can help fermentation, too much can produce off flavors. Often deactivated with kilning.
-Deactivated at 66C/72C

58 (55-60) rare step
Limit Dextrinase - For dry dry lagers, this enzyme is one reason for classic two step mashed Lagers. Will breakdown sugars not manageable by Beta and Alpha. Will remove much of the body from Dextrin malts.
-Deactivated at 60C

63 (60-65) 20-40 min.
Beta Amylase - Produces maltose. Long here means highly fermentable sugars, therefore dryer beer. Some malts with dextrin can add body even when long maltose stage is used: Carapils, DextraPils.
Low 60-61C, and long 40 min all fermentable wort resulting in dryer beer.
Higher 65C, and shorter 20 min for full body beers where many non-fermentable sugars remain in the wort.
-Deactivated at 72C

72 (68-72) 35 min.
Alpha Amylase - Produces a variety of sugars, including maltose and some unfermentable sugars.
Low for light all fermentable - 69.
Higher for full body unfermentable - 72 (increasing deactivation of Beta)
-Deactivated at 79C

Mash out 78C no more than 10 min, if sparge, no higher than 78C or risk bitterness from tannin extraction.

SINGLE TEMP WINDOW for my "SMaSTaSH" trials : 64-70
Single Malt @ Single Temp & Single Hop

Copy paste from web in Fahrenheit for non SI folks:
* Phytase (86-126 F) – Lowers the pH of the mash. Lowering the mash pH has a number of benefits, though a Phytase rest is rarely used by modern brewers.
* Debranching (95-112 F) – Helps to increase the solubility of starches resulting in increased extraction for certain malts.
* Beta Glucanese (95-113F) – Breaks down the gummy heavy starches, which can help improve stability and extraction, particularly for mashes high in proteins and adjuncts such as wheat.
* Pepidase (113-131F) – Produces free amino nitrogen, which can aid in fermentation.
* Beta Amylase (131-150F) – Produces maltose, the main sugar fermented in beer.
* Alpha Amylase (154-162F) – Produces a variety of sugars, including maltose and also some unfermentable sugars. Mashing at the higher end of this range produces more unfermentables and therefore more body in the finished beer.

Notes: Tettnager hops are 2014 crop, rated at 7.8% alpha. As they're 2 years old, I've guessed at least 30% reduction in alpha effectiveness??? So used 5.2 in the calc.
